A shifting lineup of Brazilian musicians who made sharp, urgent rock through the 80s and 90s.
For the early, spiky sound, 'Sonífera Ilha' or 'Charles Chacal' work. For the later, more resonant side, it's hard to get past 'Epitáfio'.
They weren't a fixed band so much as a São Paulo collective that kept changing shape. The 1986 album 'Cabeça Dinossauro' captured a specific, raw energy, and later tracks like 'Epitáfio' landed with a heavier, more reflective weight. That song in particular stuck around for how plainly it handled mortality and injustice.
They formed in 1982 with a crew that included Arnaldo Antunes, Sérgio Britto, and Nando Reis. Antunes left in 1985, but they kept putting out records like 'Tudo ao Mesmo Tempo Agora' in 1991, working through the internal shifts.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
